BMWG,
We've been discussing a draft for Benchmarking Neighbor Discovery
for some time.
Our new charter includes IPv6ND, so we ask
everyone to take a look (by March 18th)
and express comments/support.
The latest draft is here:

Hi Bill and Ron,
I made some time to read your latest update on a plane ride.
This draft seems to have a few areas for further
development, but otherwise in very good shape.
I attach my comments,

I-D Action: draft-ietf-bmwg-traffic-management-03.txt

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Benchmarking Methodology Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Traffic Management Benchmarking
Authors : Barry Constantine
Ram Krishnan
Filename : draft-ietf-bmwg-traffic-management-03.txt
Pages : 40
Date : 2015-02-23
Abstract:
This framework describes a practical methodology for benchmarking the
traffic management capabilities of networking devices (i.e. policing,
shaping, etc.). The goal is to provide a repeatable test method that
objectively compares performance of the device's traffic management
capabilities and to specify the means to benchmark traffic management
with representative application traffic.

BMWG (and AQM):
A WG Last Call period for the Internet-Draft on
Traffic Management Benchmarking:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-bmwg-traffic-management
will be open from 4 February 2015 through 19 February 2015.
Please note that the RFC diff for this version indicates the
introduction of many new instances of RFC 2119 Requirements Language:
http://www.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-ietf-bmwg-traffic-management-02
Past reviewers should check the current draft and indicate their
current opinion or support.
The second WGLC (on -01) closed on 6 January, 2015 with substantial
comments and the authors believe they are now addressed.
The first WGLC (on -00) closed October 21 2014, with substantial
comments.
This draft is continuing the BMWG Last Call Process. See
http://www1.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/bmwg/current/msg00846.html
Please read and express your opinion on whether or not this
Internet-Draft should be forwarded to the Area Directors for
publication as an Informational RFC. Send your comments
to this list or acmorton <at> att.com and sbanks <at> encrypted.net

Technical Summary
All networking devices have a limited capacity to serve their purpose.
In some cases these limits can be ascertained by counting physical
features (e.g., interface card slots), but in other cases standardized
tests are required to be sure that all vendors count their
protocol-handling capacity in the same way, to avoid specmanship. This
draft addresses one such case, where the SIP session-serving capacity
of a device can only be discovered and rigorously compared with other
devices through isolated laboratory testing.
This document describes the methodology for benchmarking Session -or-
This document describes the terminology for benchmarking Session
Initiation Protocol (SIP) performance as described in SIP benchmarking
terminology document. The methodology and terminology are to be used
for benchmarking signaling plane performance with varying signaling
and media load. Both scale and establishment rate are measured by
